Tobacco picking device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a tomato picking device and a method. The tomato picking device comprises a driving device and a trailer, the driving device drives the trailer to walk between two ridges of tomato plants, and a tray storage mechanism, a tray driving device and a weighing device are arranged on the trailer; the tray storage device comprises two vertical plates which are vertically and fixedly connected to the trailer, the two vertical plates are provided with two tray falling mechanisms respectively, an opening is formed in the lower end of each vertical plate, and multiple trays are stacked between the two vertical plates; the vertical plates are provided with driving parts, the driving parts comprise multiple first air cylinders and multiple guide rails, the first air cylinders and the guide rails are fixedly connected to the end face of the trailer, slide blocks are arranged on all the guide rails and jointly fixedly connected to one frame, the frame is internally provided with multiple first driving motors and multiple friction wheels, the first driving motors are in transmission connection with the friction wheels, and the first air cylinders drive the frame to move onthe guide rails. By means of the tomato picking device and the method, tomatoes can be picked, weighed and subpackaged simultaneously, the picking efficiency is improved while the labor intensity of workers is reduced, and the time for putting the tomatoes into the market is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tomato picking device and method. Background technique [0002] my country began to plant tomatoes on a large scale after the 1950s, and the current planting area is showing an upward trend. Picking is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive link in the tomato production chain, accounting for about 40% of the entire production. The existing method of picking tomatoes grown in greenhouses is generally picked by workers. The disadvantages of this picking method are: 1. Workers need to walk back and forth and frequently carry the baskets loaded with tomatoes, so the labor intensity of workers is high and the picking efficiency is low; 2. Due to the Tomatoes are relatively soft, and when the baskets are frequently transported and the tomatoes are stacked in the baskets, the tomatoes are easily squeezed, resulting in damage to the tomatoes; Heavy and subcontracting, these processes are carried out step by step, delaying the ...
